I want my husband to support me.

Ohh, if your cat gets that job, could he get an interview for mine? He's really good at that and I'd like to be a kept woman.

Belated Happy Anniversary to Jessica & Fone!!

Stephanie, that is very exciting!!

Re: childhood injuries: There are 5 kids in my family and the list of childhood injuries is lengthy. Suffice to say, we all made it out okay with all our body parts and little to no mental deficencies.

Oh yeah. Hmmm. I wonder where mine is. Vinyl!

the Department of Running Back and Forth Between Rooms For No Reason

I'm pretty sure that's an actual department.
